[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1402909, member: 75105"]His father passed away at the age of 1 and willed him most of his collection. I became friends with him on another forum, he is only 14. He is learning at a good pace on coins, which is good. It's good to see younger people interested in the hobby, the younger you start, usually the more you know when you get older. He lives in florida and recently dropped by a coin dealer. Seems like a nice person he says. Has a bucket of v-nicks for 25 cents a pop, indian head cents 3 for $1, etc. Well today he went into this dealer and I think he tried to pull a "fast one" on him. He showed him a 1859 Indian Head Cent. Graded by PCGS as "Brilliant Uncirculated" Price? $100. Maybe the dealer didn't know what he had, but I doubt it. I smell a rat. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.[/QUOTE]
